Climate control
NOTE
In a vehicle equipped with an air conditioner, when
the dial is placed in the “ ” position or “
position the air conditioner compressor automati-
cally operates to quickly defog the windshield.
However the indicator on the air conditioner but-
ton will not come on. At the same time, the air inlet
selection is automatically set to “outside air
mode.
In this state, you cannot select “recirculation”
mode by manually pressing the air inlet selection
button.
Also, you cannot stop the air conditioner com-
pressor by pressing the air conditioner button.
Automatic climate control system (if
equipped)
NOTE
" Operate the automatic climate control system
when the engine is running.
" The blower fan rotates at a low speed when the
engine coolant temperature is low.
For efficient defogging or dehumidifying in cold
weather, press the “A/C” button.
" Even when cooling is not necessary, setting the
temperature much lower than the current outlet air
temperature turns on the air conditioner compres-
sor automatically and the “A/C” indicator light on
the control panel comes on.
The automatic climate control system automatically
controls outlet air temperature, fan speed, air flow dis-
tribution air-inlet control, and air conditioner compres-
sor operation. It activates when the “AUTO” button is
pressed, and is used to maintain a constant, comfort-
able climate within the passenger compartment.
The temperature can be set within a range of 65 to
85°F (18 to 32°C).
